The Russell Process at Yedras, Sinaloa, Mexico. Comparison With the Patera, or old Leaching Process (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023623018)

"The Russell Process at Yedras, Sinaloa, Mexico" offers a detailed comparison of the Russell Process, a modern silver leaching technique from the late 19th century, with the older Patera process. Authored by Robert F. Letts, this work provides valuable insights into the technological advancements in silver extraction during a pivotal period in mining history. The study focuses on its application at Yedras, Sinaloa, Mexico, offering a specific case study within the broader context of mining practices. It illustrates the shift from traditional methods to more efficient, chemically-driven processes.

This volume will appeal to historians of technology, mining engineers, and anyone interested in the industrial history of Mexico. The detailed analysis of both processes makes it an invaluable resource for understanding the evolution of silver extraction techniques.
